About our bath re-enamelling in Burn

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Burn

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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Burn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Burn: your questions answered

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burn

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
