Need bath re-enamelling in Redlingfield?

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Bath re-enamelling in Redlingfield without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

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

Common problems we fix in Redlingfield

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Questions from Redlingfield

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Redlingfield?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
