Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

About our bath re-enamelling in Stonebridge

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Southend-on-Sea.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Common problems we fix in Stonebridge

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Stonebridge get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Stonebridge

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a full day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
