Bath re-enamelling for Stand homes

Bath re-enamelling in Stand without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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.

Stand questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you come to Stand?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Stand from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths

Repairing versus replacing in Stand

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
