Bath re-enamelling for Elsing homes

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Bath re-enamelling in Elsing without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Elsing?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Common questions in Elsing

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
