Bath re-enamelling for Stonebroom homes

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stonebroom

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Stonebroom. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common questions in Stonebroom

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Stonebroom?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Stonebroom

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What we’re called out for in Stonebroom

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
