Bath re-enamelling near Hundon

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hundon

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are 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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Hundon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Hundon

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included

FAQs for Hundon

Do you come to Hundon?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hundon and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hundon.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Hundon, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.
