Trusted bath re-enamelling in Coles Green

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

About our bath re-enamelling in Coles Green

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Coles Green questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
