Burghclere: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
About our bath re-enamelling in Burghclere
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, 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.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Burghclere get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.
