Bath re-enamelling in Burn Bridge, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Burn Bridge questions

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What we’re called out for in Burn Bridge

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Our hiring checklist

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What affects the price in Burn Bridge

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Burn Bridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Repairing versus replacing in Burn Bridge

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Burn Bridge customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
