Bath re-enamelling in Colegate End, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Colegate End?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Colegate End

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you work in Colegate End?

We do. We send a technician to Colegate End for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Colegate End

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Colegate End

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For anyone letting property in or around Colegate End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Colegate End, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
