How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stocklinch
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common problems we fix in Stocklinch
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Stocklinch contact us are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

FAQs for Stocklinch
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Stocklinch?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts 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 a new finish makes them look new again.
What affects the price in Stocklinch
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stocklinch
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stocklinch as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
