Bath re-enamelling at your home in Great Easton

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Great Easton and across Essex.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

FAQs for Great Easton

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

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

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What affects the price in Great Easton

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

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 reply with a fixed price.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

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

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.
