Bath re-enamelling in Smallthorne without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Smallthorne
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there 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
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Smallthorne: your questions answered
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover the entire of Stoke-on-Trent?
All of Stoke-on-Trent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
