Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stretton
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
When to call us in Stretton
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

FAQs for Stretton
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Repairing versus replacing in Stretton
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
