How we handle bath re-enamelling in Liston

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we work on in Liston

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. 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.

Liston: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Liston. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Liston?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
