How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Corton?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What we’re called out for in Corton

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Corton

If you manage property in Corton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Corton clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What affects the price in Corton

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Corton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
