Bath re-enamelling in Poolstock without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Poolstock, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Repair or replace in Poolstock?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Poolstock: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
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’ll say so.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
