Bath re-enamelling in Burcott

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Burcott

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Burcott questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Burcott?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BA5 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

Related advice

When to call us in Burcott

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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