Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
About our bath re-enamelling in Drayton Bassett
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

FAQs for Drayton Bassett
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Drayton Bassett. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drayton Bassett

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
