About our bath re-enamelling in Great Bridge
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace in Great Bridge?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Great Bridge
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
