The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a 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.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Burravoe questions
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you cover Burravoe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Burravoe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we’re called out for in Burravoe
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repair or replace in Burravoe?
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. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No need to remove anything

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Burravoe
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
