Bath re-enamelling near Netherwood Heath

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Bath re-enamelling in Netherwood Heath, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairing versus replacing in Netherwood Heath

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • No extra charge for your area

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Solihull and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common problems we fix in Netherwood Heath

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Netherwood Heath, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Netherwood Heath

Will the bath be moved?

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Netherwood Heath?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
