Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stoke-by-Clare
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Questions from Stoke-by-Clare
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Stoke-by-Clare?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoke-by-Clare use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stoke-by-Clare?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What affects the price in Stoke-by-Clare

- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Stoke-by-Clare

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
