How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stinsford
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Common questions in Stinsford
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What affects the price in Stinsford
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Stinsford. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stinsford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- 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 typically be used the next day.
How to prepare

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
