Bath re-enamelling near Tunstall

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tunstall

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Tunstall

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repair or replace: which is better?

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common questions in Tunstall

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Tunstall, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
