About our bath re-enamelling in Burrill

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Burrill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burrill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Burrill

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DL8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
