Trusted bath re-enamelling in Burnedge

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Bath re-enamelling in Burnedge without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rochdale.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

How it works

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 with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Burnedge questions

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How long is the bath unusable?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
