Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Hockley, Birmingham
Bath re-enamelling in and around Hockley: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350

- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Bath re-enamelling in Hockley without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hockley
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Hockley questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hockley?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
