Bath Re-enamelling for Platt's Heath homes
Problem with your bath in Platt's Heath? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Platt's Heath
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Platt's Heath
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Platt's Heath
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Landlord and trade work in Platt's Heath
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Platt's Heath
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Platt's Heath. The price comes down to:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace in Platt's Heath?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
