Trusted bath re-enamelling in Carleton St Peter

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

About our bath re-enamelling in Carleton St Peter

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Carleton St Peter and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

What we work on

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Carleton St Peter

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Carleton St Peter?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carleton St Peter

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carleton St Peter use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Carleton St Peter. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
