Bath re-enamelling in Burlington Estate

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bath re-enamelling in Burlington Estate without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we’re called out for in Burlington Estate

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Burlington Estate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the whole UK

Questions from Burlington Estate

Is there a guarantee?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burlington Estate

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burlington Estate as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Burlington Estate

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Burlington Estate get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
