Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bell Green
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Bell Green get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
FAQs for Bell Green
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Are there extra charges for Bell Green?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
When to call us in Bell Green
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Bell Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths

Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
