Bath re-enamelling in Cape Hill without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cape Hill and across Birmingham.

Common questions in Cape Hill
Are there extra charges for Cape Hill?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Common problems we fix in Cape Hill
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Comparing quotes

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Cape Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Cape Hill

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
