Bath re-enamelling in Cridling Stubbs without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What else we do in Cridling Stubbs
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common problems we fix in Cridling Stubbs
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that will not shift
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the 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 with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cridling Stubbs
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
