Do you need bath re-enamelling in Harlaston?
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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
Bath re-enamelling in Harlaston without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Harlaston and across Staffordshire.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What else we do in Harlaston
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repairing versus replacing in Harlaston
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
