How we handle bath re-enamelling in Birchgrove
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Birchgrove
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
