How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Bath re-enamelling in Standon, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Standon
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
