How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Questions from West Stoke

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in West Stoke?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Look out for these signs:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
