Bath re-enamelling in Stead, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Stead questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stead?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What else we do in Stead
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Stead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Stead and want a price, photos 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
