About our bath re-enamelling in Stow Park
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Stow Park
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What affects the price in Stow Park
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Stow Park get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairing versus replacing in Stow Park
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Stow Park: your questions answered
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Newport.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
