How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sturton by Stow

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Sturton by Stow

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Questions from Sturton by Stow

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Are there extra charges for Sturton by Stow?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Sturton by Stow?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What affects the price in Sturton by Stow

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sturton by Stow. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What we are called out for in Sturton by Stow

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What prep work is covered
