Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stapleford Abbotts
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Stapleford Abbotts
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Stapleford Abbotts
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
