How we handle bath re-enamelling in Northfield
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Northfield
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

- Stains that won’t shift

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Repairing versus replacing in Northfield
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Northfield
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Northfield: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Northfield?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Northfield.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
