Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Birch, Essex
We travel to Birch for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Birch
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Birch
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Birch?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Birch
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birch as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Birch?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that won’t shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
