About our bath re-enamelling in Heggatt Street

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Heggatt Street

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

What affects the price in Heggatt Street

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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.

Landlord and trade work in Heggatt Street

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
