Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Bath re-enamelling in Steinis without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Steinis?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Steinis. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
