How we handle bath re-enamelling in Strone
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Strone and across Argyll and Bute.

- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

What we’re called out for in Strone
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Strone
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Strone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
