About our bath re-enamelling in Bournbrook

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Bournbrook

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What affects the price in Bournbrook

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bournbrook. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Questions from Bournbrook

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Birmingham.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Landlord and trade work in Bournbrook

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bournbrook as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
