How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stodmarsh
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
When to call us in Stodmarsh
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Look out for any of the following:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What else we do in Stodmarsh
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stodmarsh
For anyone letting property in or around Stodmarsh, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stodmarsh use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stodmarsh. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
