Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

FAQs for Burgh

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Burgh and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Burgh.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes most of the day. The room is left tidy.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Burgh

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Burgh

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