A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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 following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Landlord and trade work in Stubbles

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Stubbles, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Stubbles. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Stubbles get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common problems we fix in Stubbles

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
