Bath re-enamelling in The Stocks, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairing versus replacing in The Stocks
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in The Stocks
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, The Stocks included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
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 quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in The Stocks
For anyone letting property in or around The Stocks, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to The Stocks. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
