Bath re-enamelling at your home in North Stifford
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We are often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in North Stifford as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in North Stifford
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in North Stifford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
