About our bath re-enamelling in Bawburgh

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Bawburgh questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work in Bawburgh?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bawburgh and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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 there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bawburgh?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Bawburgh. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
