How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stone Cross
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stone Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Stone Cross. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

What we’re called out for in Stone Cross
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Questions from Stone Cross
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
