Bath re-enamelling for Over Green homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Over Green

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

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

Repair or replace in Over Green?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Over Green customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Over Green

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Over Green. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Choosing a repair company

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Over Green questions

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

We cover the entire UK, including Over Green and the rest of Birmingham. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
