Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What affects the price in Stank
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Stank, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stank?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stank
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you work in Stank?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Stank and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Stank
- Pressed steel baths

- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
