DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 typically cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When to call us in Cradley
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace in Cradley?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Cradley
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Cradley?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B63 postcode.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
