Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Birchover
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Birchover?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Birchover from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Birchover?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
About our bath re-enamelling in Birchover
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, 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’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- 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 typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Common problems we fix in Birchover
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
Before you book anyone

- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Birchover, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
