About our bath re-enamelling in Wyverstone

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wyverstone and across Suffolk.

Landlord and trade work in Wyverstone

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Questions from Wyverstone

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wyverstone?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your IP14 postcode.

Do you cover Wyverstone?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Wyverstone included. Travel is included in the price.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What affects the price in Wyverstone

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
