Bath re-enamelling for Stoke Dry homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stoke Dry

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Common problems we fix in Stoke Dry

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Stoke Dry questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
