Bath re-enamelling in North Green, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for North Green

Do you cover North Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to North Green and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in North Green

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
