How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise 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.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Twinstead

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can typically put it right.

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

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Twinstead

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace in Twinstead?

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

When to call us in Twinstead

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
