Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lower Burrow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Lower Burrow
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Lower Burrow. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
