How we handle bath re-enamelling in Alburgh Street

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Alburgh Street as everywhere else we work.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Alburgh Street?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alburgh Street as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Alburgh Street?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Alburgh Street: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
