Bath re-enamelling in Stow Maries without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
When to call us in Stow Maries
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the entire UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
