Bath re-enamelling near Stubbins

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stubbins

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and several chips and rust patches.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

When to call us in Stubbins

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stubbins

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work in Stubbins?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Stubbins. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What affects the price in Stubbins

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 will not last.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
