Bath re-enamelling in Balsall Common, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Balsall Common as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Balsall Common: your questions answered
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What affects the price in Balsall Common
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Balsall Common
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repair or replace in Balsall Common?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before you book
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
