About our bath re-enamelling in Great Sampford

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Great Sampford

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Are you accredited?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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 day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

What affects the price in Great Sampford

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Sampford

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
