How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stoney Middleton
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Stoney Middleton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Stoney Middleton questions
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stoney Middleton.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stoney Middleton?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
