Bath re-enamelling in Birch, done in place
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. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Birch
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Birch?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your photos

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
What affects the price in Birch
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
For a price in Birch, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
When to call us in Birch
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
