How we handle bath re-enamelling in Burbage
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Burbage
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that won’t shift

Repair or replace in Burbage?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Burbage questions
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Burbage?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you come to Burbage?
We do. We send a technician to Burbage for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What affects the price in Burbage
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
