- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Locks Heath
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Locks Heath
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Locks Heath?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Locks Heath?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Locks Heath
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
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.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Locks Heath. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Locks Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Locks Heath, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
