Bath re-enamelling at your home in Birling
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Birling
- Basins & shower trays

- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Birling questions
Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?
We work UK-wide, so Birling is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
