- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Bath re-enamelling in Stocking Pelham, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stocking Pelham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What we’re called out for in Stocking Pelham
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Stocking Pelham questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
