Bath re-enamelling in Stantway, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Stantway questions
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlord and trade work in Stantway
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Stantway, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The most common problems we are called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place

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 tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- 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 generally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
