Bath re-enamelling in Cawston

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cawston

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Cawston

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

10 questions to ask before you book

Cawston: your questions answered

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How soon can you come?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cawston?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
