Bath re-enamelling at your home in Burneside
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Burneside
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Burneside. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
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 will reply with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Common problems we fix in Burneside
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlord and trade work in Burneside
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Burneside, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
