Bath re-enamelling in Stonegate, done in place
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. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What else we do in Stonegate
Common problems we fix in Stonegate
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stonegate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 photos, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Stonegate
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stonegate.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
