Bath re-enamelling at your home in Saxtead Little Green

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Saxtead Little Green as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Saxtead Little Green

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Repair or replace in Saxtead Little Green?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body

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

What we work on

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

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Saxtead Little Green. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Saxtead Little Green, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
