How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Waldingfield

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Choosing a repair company

Little Waldingfield: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

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

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Are there extra charges for Little Waldingfield?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. 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.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
