How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bell Heath
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What else we do in Bell Heath
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Bell Heath
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common questions in Bell Heath
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
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 it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
