About our bath re-enamelling in Stretton-on-Fosse
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
When to call us in Stretton-on-Fosse
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
