About our bath re-enamelling in Kessingland

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help.

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

Repair or replace in Kessingland?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. 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.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Kessingland

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Once we are 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 by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
