How we handle bath re-enamelling in Netherton
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Netherton
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Netherton?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Look out for any of the following:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repairing versus replacing in Netherton
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Common questions in Netherton
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
