What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stonesby

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Stonesby

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Questions from Stonesby

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?

Across the UK, and that includes Stonesby. Prices do not change with location.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

For a price in Stonesby, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Stonesby

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
