- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stockwood
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When to call us in Stockwood
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended

Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stockwood
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Stockwood.
