Bath re-enamelling near Badingham

Bath re-enamelling in Badingham without replacing anything

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. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Badingham

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your IP13 postcode.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Badingham

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Common problems we fix in Badingham

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
