About our bath re-enamelling in Stow Longa
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Repairing versus replacing in Stow Longa
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Common problems we fix in Stow Longa
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stow Longa. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
