The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stonehills?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What affects the price in Stonehills
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
