Bath Re-enamelling across Suffolk

Our bath re-enamelling service in Suffolk

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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 normally be used the day after.

What it costs in Suffolk

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Around Ipswich

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Alderman Canal East, The Hand in Hand pub and Church of St Peter. You’ll also find St Matthew's Church of England Primary School (0.5 miles north-west) and Stoke High School - Ormiston Academy (0.7 miles south). Ipswich has its own railway station: Ipswich station. A little further out are The Buttermarket (less than half a mile north) and Ipswich St Mary Stoke (0.7 miles south-west). Not far away are Papermill Reedbed.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Store bottles off the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

What affects the price in Suffolk

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

Questions from Suffolk

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
