Bath re-enamelling in Fradley, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts 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.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Common problems we fix in Fradley

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Fradley

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

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 price the job.

Common questions in Fradley

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
