How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stonymarsh

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Stonymarsh get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Stonymarsh

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

FAQs for Stonymarsh

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Stonymarsh

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we are called out for in Stonymarsh

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
