About our bath re-enamelling in Busk
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Busk: your questions answered
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the new finish last?
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.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
When to call us in Busk
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Busk use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Busk. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
