Bath re-enamelling near Burley Hill

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Burley Hill

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

FAQs for Burley Hill

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Burley Hill.

Landlord and trade work in Burley Hill

If you manage property in Burley Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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