How we handle bath re-enamelling in Birch Hill
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birch Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bracknell Forest and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
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 the best part of a day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Birch Hill
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Birch Hill. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Birch Hill questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
