Common questions in Birdham
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Related advice
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Birdham
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
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 typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
If you are in Birdham and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
