What affects the price in Ospringe

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

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.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ospringe

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays 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.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Ospringe: your questions answered

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that is rusted through

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

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repair or replace in Ospringe?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK

What we’re called out for in Ospringe

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
