What affects the price in Stapleford
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Stapleford. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Stapleford and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stapleford
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Stapleford
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Stapleford
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
