About our bath re-enamelling in Stainton
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stainton: your questions answered
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Stainton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
