What else we do in Blythburgh
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Blythburgh
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are there extra charges for Blythburgh?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you come to Blythburgh?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Blythburgh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Landlord and trade work in Blythburgh
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Blythburgh, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Blythburgh, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Blythburgh
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
