Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stick Hill
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Stick Hill
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Stick Hill. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
