Bath re-enamelling in Stretton

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stretton

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stretton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stretton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What affects the price in Stretton

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Stretton. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Stretton: your questions answered

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Stretton?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When to call us in Stretton

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before booking
