Bath re-enamelling in Stowford, done in place
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. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

FAQs for Stowford
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
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 DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Stowford?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stowford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stowford?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
