Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Burton

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we are called out for in Burton

Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Our hiring checklist

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Burton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Burton: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
