Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tile Hill
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can

- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

- How many items we do on one visit

Why repair rather than replace?
A new 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 without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Tile Hill: your questions answered
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
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 is the part we put right.
What we are called out for in Tile Hill
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
