How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stanpit
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Stanpit: your questions answered
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Stanpit?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work in Stanpit?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Stanpit from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Stanpit
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stanpit, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. 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, and the outside can be refinished too.
