How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Browns Green and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Browns Green
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Browns Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Birmingham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
