Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stubb's Cross
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we are called out for in Stubb's Cross
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Common questions in Stubb's Cross
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Repairing versus replacing in Stubb's Cross
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
