Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stockbridge
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we’re called out for in Stockbridge
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare

- Make sure the area is dry

Related advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Stockbridge: your questions answered
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Stockbridge?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Landlord and trade work in Stockbridge
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stockbridge use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
