A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Burnlee, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Burnlee and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths

FAQs for Burnlee
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HD9 postcode.
