  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.

Bath re-enamelling in Meriden, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Meriden, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Meriden

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Coventry. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Meriden

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Meriden

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Meriden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
