How we handle bath re-enamelling in Birchden
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why Birchden clients choose us
- A fixed quote before booking
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Birchden get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Common questions in Birchden
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
