Bath re-enamelling near Woodcock Hill

About our bath re-enamelling in Woodcock Hill

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Woodcock Hill and across Birmingham.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Woodcock Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Woodcock Hill

  • Basins & shower trays

Woodcock Hill questions

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Repair or replace in Woodcock Hill?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
