Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Bath re-enamelling in Solihull without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

What else we do in Solihull
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Solihull?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
