Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

FAQs for Golden Triangle

Do you work in Golden Triangle?

We do. Technicians travel to Golden Triangle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Golden Triangle?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR2 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Golden Triangle

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Golden Triangle

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
