Bath re-enamelling in Wrentham without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

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. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Wrentham

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Wrentham

If you manage property in Wrentham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wrentham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wrentham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Wrentham customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
