Bath re-enamelling in Heronfield, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Solihull.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common problems we fix in Heronfield
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Heronfield: your questions answered
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B93 postcode.
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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Heronfield

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Heronfield. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
