How we handle bath re-enamelling in King's Norton
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
What affects the price in King's Norton
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to King's Norton. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, 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 photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
