Bath re-enamelling for Red Hill homes

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Red Hill without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Red Hill

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Red Hill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

What affects the price in Red Hill

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Red Hill questions

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Birmingham.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you work in Red Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Red Hill. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
