About our bath re-enamelling in West Stourmouth

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around West Stourmouth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we are called out for in West Stourmouth

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
