How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chell
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and chips and rust in more than one place, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Landlord and trade work in Chell
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common problems we fix in Chell
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Common reasons people in Chell contact us include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Chell
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Stoke-on-Trent.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
