About our bath re-enamelling in Burleston
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Burleston
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, 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.
Repair or replace in Burleston?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burleston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Burleston. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Burleston, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
