How to compare quotes

Bath re-enamelling in East Bergholt without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and wear marks under the taps, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron 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.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repairing versus replacing in East Bergholt

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Bergholt. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Bergholt as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in East Bergholt, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area 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 look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for East Bergholt

Do you cover East Bergholt?

We do. We send a technician to East Bergholt for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

We work UK-wide, so East Bergholt is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
