How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sturton le Steeple

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. We’re frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

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

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
