Bath re-enamelling in Harborne without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When to call us in Harborne
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Landlords, agents and businesses in Harborne
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harborne use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, 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 it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
FAQs for Harborne
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Harborne?
We do. We send a technician to Harborne for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
