Bath Re-enamelling in Birds Edge
Our repair technicians come to Birds Edge for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Birds Edge
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts 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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Birds Edge
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that is failing

- How changes to the job are handled
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
