About our bath re-enamelling in Bilston
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we’re called out for in Bilston
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for these signs:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bilston: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
