Handsworth: your questions answered
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Handsworth
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Handsworth
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Handsworth use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
