Repairing versus replacing in Ashfield Green

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

About our bath re-enamelling in Ashfield Green

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Honest limits

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we work on in Ashfield Green

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we are called out for in Ashfield Green

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
