How we handle bath re-enamelling in Storrs
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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
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.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Storrs
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Storrs
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

Common questions in Storrs
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
