Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Green Lane, Coventry
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Green Lane and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Green Lane
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Green Lane and across Coventry.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Questions from Green Lane
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
