Bath re-enamelling in Stock, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Stock
Stock: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work in Stock?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stock for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Stock?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stock, and we will reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stock as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
