Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Birts Street?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Birts Street. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Birts Street: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Repairing versus replacing in Birts Street
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
