Landlords, agents and businesses in Ovington

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Bath re-enamelling in Ovington without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches, we can typically put it right.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Ovington questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Ovington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ovington and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Ovington?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common problems we fix in Ovington

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath

If you’re in Ovington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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