About our bath re-enamelling in Stretton en le Field

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Stretton en le Field get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

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 will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Stretton en le Field

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
