Bath re-enamelling in East Runton

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to East Runton. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in East Runton

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in East Runton

Will you leave a mess?

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Runton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
