How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hindolveston
We don’t 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. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hindolveston and across Norfolk.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Hindolveston questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Hindolveston included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you come to Hindolveston?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hindolveston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
When to call us in Hindolveston
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Landlord and trade work in Hindolveston
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Hindolveston
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hindolveston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
