Bath re-enamelling in Stakeford, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What else we do in Stakeford
What affects the price in Stakeford
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace in Stakeford?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for Stakeford
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
