Trusted bath re-enamelling in Stoneygate

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stoneygate

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Stoneygate is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Stoneygate customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stoneygate?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
