When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

About our bath re-enamelling in Bartley Green

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common problems we fix in Bartley Green

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

10 questions to ask before booking

Bartley Green: your questions answered

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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