Repairing versus replacing in Staindrop
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Staindrop clients choose us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Work done at your home or business

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Staindrop
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 work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

For landlords and businesses

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Staindrop. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
