Bath re-enamelling at your home in Erpingham

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Erpingham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Erpingham. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Erpingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Erpingham

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Repair or replace in Erpingham?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Erpingham

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
