Bath Re-enamelling in Upper Birchwood
Bath re-enamelling in and around Upper Birchwood: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Upper Birchwood without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Upper Birchwood and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What affects the price in Upper Birchwood
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Upper Birchwood. The price comes down to:

- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
