Bath re-enamelling in Fairstead without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Fairstead

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.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Fairstead

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add 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.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Fairstead

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Do you come to Fairstead?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fairstead for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Fairstead

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
