Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
About our bath re-enamelling in Stanford on Avon
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Should you replace it?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stanford on Avon?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
