Smethwick questions
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Bath re-enamelling in Smethwick without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Smethwick?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before you book

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Smethwick
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
