Bath re-enamelling in Birkhill, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Birkhill

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

Landlord and trade work in Birkhill
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What your bath is made of matters
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 check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Common problems we fix in Birkhill
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Common questions in Birkhill
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
