Need bath re-enamelling in Burn's Green?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Burn's Green

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Burn's Green as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

  • Stains that will not shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Burn's Green

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Burn's Green. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repairing versus replacing in Burn's Green

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Burn's Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Burn's Green

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
