Bath re-enamelling in Antingham

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Antingham

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

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

What we are called out for in Antingham

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

Antingham: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Antingham?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Antingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Antingham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
