How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Meriden
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Questions from Meriden
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Meriden?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
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.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
