Bath re-enamelling in Stapleford, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We are frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stapleford
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Stapleford
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel

Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No extra charge for your area

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
