How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lickey End
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lickey End, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
