Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stocks Green
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places.
In a village or hamlet like Stocks Green, homes are frequently older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Repairing in place avoids that.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common questions in Stocks Green
Is it worth repairing old baths in a period home in Stocks Green?
Usually: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send pictures and we will advise.
Do you come out to small places like Stocks Green?
Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Stocks Green?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What we’re called out for in Stocks Green
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that is seen better days
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Parish Church of All Saints, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stocks Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairing versus replacing in Stocks Green
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Replacement in Stocks Green means trades, travel and waste removal, while bath re-enamelling is one trip.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured. For a rural address like Stocks Green, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the bath re-enamelling, so there is no second trip.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
