Bath re-enamelling in Stopsley, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t 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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairing versus replacing in Stopsley

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book

Stopsley: your questions answered

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Landlord and trade work in Stopsley

If you manage property in Stopsley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

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

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we are called out for in Stopsley

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
