About our bath re-enamelling in Stocking
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Stocking?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stocking?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Stocking: your questions answered
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Stocking?
We do. We send a technician to Stocking for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What areas do you cover?
All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Stocking. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Stocking and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
