How we handle bath re-enamelling in Short Heath
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Short Heath
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Short Heath questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Short Heath?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wolverhampton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- 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 normally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Repair or replace in Short Heath?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
