What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Bath re-enamelling in Kings Norton without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Kings Norton

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the new finish last?

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.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kings Norton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
