Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brereton Cross
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Brereton Cross: your questions answered
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is

- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

When to call us in Brereton Cross
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
