About our bath re-enamelling in Burnaston

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Burnaston

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Common problems we fix in Burnaston

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What affects the price in Burnaston

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burnaston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
