Bath re-enamelling at your home in Solihull

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We are frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

What we are called out for in Solihull

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after.

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
