Bath re-enamelling for Borgh homes

What your bath is made of matters

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 is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Borgh

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Questions from Borgh

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Borgh?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Repair or replace in Borgh?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Borgh

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair
