Bath re-enamelling in West Burton, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We are frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

What we work on

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in West Burton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in West Burton?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Burton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that will not shift

Questions from West Burton

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you come to West Burton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Burton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
