Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stapenhill
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
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.
Stapenhill questions
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Stapenhill and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
