Bath re-enamelling near The Burroughs

Bath re-enamelling in The Burroughs without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in The Burroughs

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

What we’re called out for in The Burroughs

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What affects the price in The Burroughs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to The Burroughs. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
