Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Birdbush?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Birdbush, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Birdbush

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we work on in Birdbush

  • Cast iron baths

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Birdbush?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
