Bath Re-enamelling for Birchencliffe homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for householders, landlords and businesses in Birchencliffe. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

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

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Repair or replace in Birchencliffe?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Birchencliffe
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
