Bath re-enamelling at your home in Burton-in-Kendal

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Burton-in-Kendal

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Burton-in-Kendal. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Burton-in-Kendal

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?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Burton-in-Kendal. Prices do not change with location.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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