- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 pictures.
FAQs for Birdwell
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Repair or replace in Birdwell?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Most jobs done in one visit

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When to call us in Birdwell
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site

Advice
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
