About our bath re-enamelling in Stirchley

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Stirchley

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Stirchley?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stirchley

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Common problems we fix in Stirchley

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice
