About our bath re-enamelling in Burston
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and several chips and rust patches, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

What affects the price in Burston
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Burston. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Burston, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Do you come to Burston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Burston and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
