Bath re-enamelling in Sterte, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can normally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sterte as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sterte
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No need to remove anything
Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Sterte. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Sterte questions
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Sterte.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
