Bath re-enamelling in Staverton without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Staverton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through

What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Staverton: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
