Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Beaconside, Staffordshire

Bath re-enamelling in Beaconside without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Beaconside, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Common questions in Beaconside
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Beaconside
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
