How we handle bath re-enamelling in Staddiscombe
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are frequently asked to fix several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off 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. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Questions from Staddiscombe
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you come to Staddiscombe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Staddiscombe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Staddiscombe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Staddiscombe?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What affects the price in Staddiscombe
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you do not 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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace in Staddiscombe?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
