About our bath re-enamelling in Stoke St Mary
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Stoke St Mary questions
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Do you work in Stoke St Mary?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stoke St Mary for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Are there extra charges for Stoke St Mary?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stoke St Mary?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
