Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What else we do in Birling
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Birling: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Birling?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Birling, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
