How we handle bath re-enamelling in St Stephens
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to St Stephens. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in St Stephens
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
