How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upper Stoke
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We’re often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Upper Stoke: your questions answered
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Upper Stoke?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR14 postcode.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Upper Stoke?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
