About our bath re-enamelling in Burghfield
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Burghfield
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Burghfield. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Burghfield and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Burghfield?
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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Questions from Burghfield
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Landlord and trade work in Burghfield
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
