Repairing versus replacing in Ufford
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Bath re-enamelling in Ufford without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ufford
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IP13 postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can

Advice
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
