Bath re-enamelling in Stone

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stone

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Stone

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work in Stone?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stone. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Stone?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Stone

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before booking

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stone?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
