About our bath re-enamelling in Sturmer
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Common questions in Sturmer
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you come to Sturmer?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sturmer. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sturmer. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
