- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Bath re-enamelling in Lower Stretton, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Stretton
If you manage property in Lower Stretton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Stretton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Lower Stretton
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When to call us in Lower Stretton
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
