How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stockhold Green
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stockhold Green
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Stockhold Green
How long does re-enamelling last?
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover Stockhold Green?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Stockhold Green and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What we’re called out for in Stockhold Green
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

What affects the price in Stockhold Green
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Stockhold Green. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stockhold Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Stockhold Green and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
