About our bath re-enamelling in Driffold
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Birmingham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Driffold questions
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you cover Driffold?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Driffold from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Driffold
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Driffold
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
