Trusted bath re-enamelling in Wattisfield

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wattisfield

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we’re called out for in Wattisfield

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Wattisfield. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Repair dripping taps early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Repair or replace in Wattisfield?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wattisfield as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
