About our bath re-enamelling in Netherton

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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

Materials we work on in Netherton

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Netherton. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Netherton questions

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
