Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Bath re-enamelling in Edgbaston, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Edgbaston, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
