Bath re-enamelling in Oldbury, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material

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.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Repair or replace in Oldbury?

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Oldbury

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WV16 postcode.

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Oldbury, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
