How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stapleford Tawney
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Stapleford Tawney
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Stapleford Tawney. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stapleford Tawney. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
