Bath re-enamelling in Birchanger, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Birchanger
If you manage property in Birchanger, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
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
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
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.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Common questions in Birchanger
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
