Bath re-enamelling for Burgh Hill homes

Bath re-enamelling in Burgh Hill without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Burgh Hill questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Burgh Hill?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

When to call us in Burgh Hill

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Common reasons people in Burgh Hill contact us include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that will not shift

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Repair or replace in Burgh Hill?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
