Bath re-enamelling in Creeting Bottoms

Bath re-enamelling in Creeting Bottoms without replacing anything

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. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Creeting Bottoms and across Suffolk.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Creeting Bottoms: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Are there extra charges for Creeting Bottoms?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Creeting Bottoms

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Creeting Bottoms

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs it’s time to call us include:
