Need bath re-enamelling in Stratton Strawless?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stratton Strawless

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Stratton Strawless

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our prices page and bath cost comparison.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stratton Strawless

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Common problems we fix in Stratton Strawless

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
