Trusted bath re-enamelling in Brundish

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brundish

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Brundish questions

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Brundish.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you cover Brundish?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Brundish. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Brundish, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Common problems we fix in Brundish

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
