Bath re-enamelling in Yoxford, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: 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 take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Yoxford

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Yoxford. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When to call us in Yoxford

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
