What else we do in Short Heath
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Common questions in Short Heath
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Short Heath
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Short Heath
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Short Heath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
