About our bath re-enamelling in Birchett's Green

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Birchett's Green as everywhere else we work.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we’re called out for in Birchett's Green

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Birchett's Green questions

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Birchett's Green?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you work in Birchett's Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Birchett's Green and the rest of East Sussex. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Birchett's Green

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birchett's Green as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Birchett's Green. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Birchett's Green, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
