Bath re-enamelling near Gravelly Hill

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Gravelly Hill

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Bath re-enamelling in Gravelly Hill without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you work in Gravelly Hill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gravelly Hill and the rest of Birmingham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gravelly Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Gravelly Hill

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When to call us in Gravelly Hill

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gravelly Hill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
