Bath re-enamelling at your home in Basford
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and stains that won’t shift, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Stoke-on-Trent.

What we’re called out for in Basford
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Stoke-on-Trent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What else we do in Basford
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Common questions in Basford
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST5 postcode.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
