Trusted bath re-enamelling in Stonor

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stonor

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stonor

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Stonor

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Stonor

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

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