Bath re-enamelling in Dilham

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Bath re-enamelling in Dilham without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Dilham

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Dilham customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Questions from Dilham

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Dilham.

What affects the price in Dilham

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Dilham

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
