Common questions in Stonham Aspal

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stonham Aspal. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we work on in Stonham Aspal

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
