Bath re-enamelling in Stanley without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and stains that won’t shift, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Questions from Stanley
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Stanley?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stanley?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole

What else we do in Stanley
What we can’t put right

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What affects the price in Stanley
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DH9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
