How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stainsby
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Stainsby questions
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Stainsby?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover Stainsby?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Stainsby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a full day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Other services in Stainsby
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
