How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stenalees
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and lots of chips and rust spots, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Stenalees and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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 is the part we put right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Stenalees. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stenalees as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common questions in Stenalees
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does re-enamelling take?

Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
