Need bath re-enamelling in Kings Heath?

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

About our bath re-enamelling in Kings Heath

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Questions from Kings Heath

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?

Everywhere in the UK, Kings Heath included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Kings Heath?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Kings Heath

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
