- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hawkesley
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What we’re called out for in Hawkesley
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Questions from Hawkesley
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Hawkesley and the rest of Birmingham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What affects the price in Hawkesley
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hawkesley, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repairs by material
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’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
