Bath re-enamelling for Walberswick homes

Bath re-enamelling in Walberswick without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Walberswick

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Will the new finish last?

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

Do you work in Walberswick?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Walberswick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Walberswick customers choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Walberswick get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walberswick

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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