Bath re-enamelling in Tunstall, done in place
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 thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Tunstall and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tunstall. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tunstall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Tunstall and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When to call us in Tunstall
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Tunstall
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
