Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bradfield St George

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bradfield St George

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Bradfield St George. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. 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.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
