About our bath re-enamelling in Ash Corner

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the price in Ash Corner

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Ash Corner. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Ash Corner get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

FAQs for Ash Corner

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are there extra charges for Ash Corner?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ash Corner?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ash Corner as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
