Bath re-enamelling in Bursea, done in place

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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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 pay close attention there.

What affects the price in Bursea

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. 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. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Common questions in Bursea

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you come to Bursea?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bursea. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bursea

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
