Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Flixborough Stather
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairing versus replacing in Flixborough Stather
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
