Bath re-enamelling for Burnt Hill homes

Bath re-enamelling in Burnt Hill without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, 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 a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • 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.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Burnt Hill: your questions answered

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Burnt Hill?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your RG18 postcode.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you cover Burnt Hill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Burnt Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Repairing versus replacing in Burnt Hill

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

What we’re called out for in Burnt Hill

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
