About our bath re-enamelling in Stanley Common
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Common questions in Stanley Common
Are there extra charges for Stanley Common?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stanley Common?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How your room will be protected
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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 normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
