When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fakenham Magna
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Fakenham Magna and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colour mixed on the day to match

FAQs for Fakenham Magna
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you cover Fakenham Magna?
We do. Technicians travel to Fakenham Magna from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
