Bath re-enamelling near Poystreet Green

About our bath re-enamelling in Poystreet Green

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Poystreet Green

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

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.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Honest limits

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Poystreet Green, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

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

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Poystreet Green

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
