About our bath re-enamelling in Apes Dale

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Apes Dale and across Worcestershire.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Apes Dale

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Apes Dale

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

  • Pressed steel baths

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Apes Dale

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
