Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chedgrave

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chedgrave and across Norfolk.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Chedgrave: your questions answered

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.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Chedgrave

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our pricing or bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Common problems we fix in Chedgrave

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Common reasons people in Chedgrave contact us are:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
