Bath re-enamelling in Stubwood, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stubwood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What else we do in Stubwood
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in Stubwood
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Common questions in Stubwood
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
