About our bath re-enamelling in Stratton St Margaret
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.
What affects the price in Stratton St Margaret
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

FAQs for Stratton St Margaret
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
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.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
