Bath re-enamelling in Barton Mills

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Barton Mills

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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 if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What we can’t put right

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Barton Mills. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Barton Mills

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you cover Barton Mills?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Barton Mills for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What areas do you cover?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Barton Mills?

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
