What affects the price in Burgh St Margaret
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR29 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Burgh St Margaret
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When to call us in Burgh St Margaret
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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 until the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
