Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Great Barr. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Great Barr, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Great Barr
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that won’t shift

What else we do in Great Barr
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Great Barr. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour-matched on site

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?

Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
