How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barston
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Barston. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Barston and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Barston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Barston
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Solihull. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
