Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bulcamp

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What affects the price in Bulcamp

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bulcamp. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bulcamp, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bulcamp

For anyone letting property in or around Bulcamp, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairing versus replacing in Bulcamp

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
