How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

About our bath re-enamelling in Burcot

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Stains that won’t shift

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Burcot clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
