How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Bath re-enamelling in Anchor Corner, done in place

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 repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Anchor Corner

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

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 it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Anchor Corner. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Anchor Corner get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Anchor Corner, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Anchor Corner

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
