Bath re-enamelling in Bell End without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bell End questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dudley, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
