Bath re-enamelling in Stradishall, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stradishall as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

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. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What affects the price in Stradishall
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

FAQs for Stradishall
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Stradishall?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
