When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Hellesdon

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hellesdon

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Hellesdon

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do you come to Hellesdon?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hellesdon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Hellesdon

For anyone letting property in or around Hellesdon, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hellesdon?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
