How we handle bath re-enamelling in Coventry
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Coventry and the surrounding area.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

What else we do in Coventry
Coventry: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
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. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the entire UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Coventry
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
