Bath Re-enamelling for Stony Houghton homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Stony Houghton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stony Houghton
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Stony Houghton questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Stony Houghton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stony Houghton and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Nottinghamshire.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
What affects the price in Stony Houghton
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
