Bath re-enamelling for Burstock homes

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Burstock

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Burstock

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

10 questions to ask before you book

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Burstock: your questions answered

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work in Burstock?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Burstock and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
