Landlords, agents and businesses in Cranley

If you manage property in Cranley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Bath re-enamelling in Cranley, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We’re frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Cranley

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Cranley, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we are called out for in Cranley

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace in Cranley?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Questions from Cranley

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Cranley. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
