How we handle bath re-enamelling in West Bromwich
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Bromwich as everywhere else we work.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to West Bromwich. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in West Bromwich?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

West Bromwich questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you cover West Bromwich?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to West Bromwich and the rest of Sandwell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.

- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
