Trusted bath re-enamelling in Birch Green

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Bath re-enamelling in Birch Green without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Birch Green

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Birch Green, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

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

Common problems we fix in Birch Green

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again

How soon can you come?

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Birch Green

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
