Bath re-enamelling in Dudley, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Dudley as everywhere else we work.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Dudley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Dudley
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover Dudley?
We do. We send a technician to Dudley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Dudley?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dudley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What we’re called out for in Dudley
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots

- How changes to the job are handled
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
