What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Bath re-enamelling in Acle, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Acle

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Acle

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
