Bath re-enamelling at your home in The Stocks
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we are called out for in The Stocks
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for The Stocks. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why The Stocks clients choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the whole UK
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in The Stocks
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes The Stocks. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
