How we handle bath re-enamelling in Coltishall

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and wear marks under the taps, we can help.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Coltishall?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Coltishall

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Norfolk.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

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 the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
