Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stubshaw Cross
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What else we do in Stubshaw Cross
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stubshaw Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
FAQs for Stubshaw Cross
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Common problems we fix in Stubshaw Cross
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
