How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stoke Doyle
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Stoke Doyle?
A new 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 without moving it. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Stoke Doyle
What areas do you cover?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Landlord and trade work in Stoke Doyle
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
