About our bath re-enamelling in Stores Corner
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
When to call us in Stores Corner
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Questions from Stores Corner
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Stores Corner?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, 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.
