Bath re-enamelling in Griston

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Griston?

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

About our bath re-enamelling in Griston

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Griston and across Norfolk.

Griston: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Griston?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Griston and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Different materials, different repairs

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 the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
