Bath re-enamelling for Cradley Heath homes

Bath re-enamelling in Cradley Heath without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a coating lifting around the plughole, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Cradley Heath

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common questions in Cradley Heath

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you cover Cradley Heath?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cradley Heath and the rest of Sandwell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cradley Heath. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cradley Heath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
