Bath re-enamelling for Easton homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Easton

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Easton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Easton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Easton: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Easton included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Easton

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Easton

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Before booking anyone

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

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
