Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Hamstead, Birmingham
Our repair technicians come to Hamstead for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price

Questions from Hamstead
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hamstead?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When to call us in Hamstead
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
