Bath re-enamelling in Birdlip without replacing anything

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. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Birdlip questions

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Do you work in Birdlip?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Birdlip and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

When to call us in Birdlip

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
