Bath re-enamelling in North Green, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What we’re called out for in North Green

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Our hiring checklist

North Green questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in North Green.

Is it messy?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Repairing versus replacing in North Green

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for North Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to North Green. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
