Bath re-enamelling in Fox & Goose without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Fox & Goose and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Fox & Goose questions
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What areas do you cover?
All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Landlord and trade work in Fox & Goose
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish 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 resurfacing gives them a new life.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Fox & Goose
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Generally one visit, start to finish
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
