How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lowe Hill
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

When to call us in Lowe Hill
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What else we do in Lowe Hill
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lowe Hill. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lowe Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not 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.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
