Bath re-enamelling in Midland without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Common problems we fix in Midland
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
