Trusted bath re-enamelling in Wood Burcote

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Bath re-enamelling in Wood Burcote without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wood Burcote

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover Wood Burcote?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wood Burcote. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are

What affects the price in Wood Burcote

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wood Burcote. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Wood Burcote

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
