Bath re-enamelling in Heath End without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and lots of chips and rust spots, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from Heath End
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you work in Heath End?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Heath End and the rest of Walsall. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When to call us in Heath End
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
