Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling in Heigham, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Questions from Heigham

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you cover Heigham?

We do. Technicians travel to Heigham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Heigham?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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 pay close attention there.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Heigham

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. 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.

Why Heigham clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Heigham

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
