Bath re-enamelling for Cranwich homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cranwich

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cranwich and across Norfolk.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Our hiring checklist

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 work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
