For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Short Heath
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
