Bath re-enamelling near Gressingham

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Gressingham without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gressingham as everywhere else we work.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

What we work on

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

Gressingham questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will there be fumes?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Gressingham and the rest of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What affects the price in Gressingham

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

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

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
