How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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 price the job without visiting.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Blundeston

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Blundeston?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Blundeston

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Blundeston and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Blundeston

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full 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. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repairing versus replacing in Blundeston

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
