Bath re-enamelling for Birchwood homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Birchwood

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Birchwood

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

Landlord and trade work in Birchwood

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Birchwood, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
