Trusted bath re-enamelling in Great Addington

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Bath re-enamelling in Great Addington without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Addington

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Addington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Great Addington

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NN14 postcode.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body

Materials we work on in Great Addington

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When to call us in Great Addington

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NN14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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 next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
