Trusted bath re-enamelling in Highoak

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

About our bath re-enamelling in Highoak

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Common problems we fix in Highoak

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Highoak?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Highoak

Do you come to Highoak?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Highoak from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Highoak?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

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

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlord and trade work in Highoak

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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