About our bath re-enamelling in Steel Heath
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Steel Heath questions
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Shropshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
What affects the price in Steel Heath
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Steel Heath
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
