Bath re-enamelling at your home in King's Lynn

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

When to call us in King's Lynn

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Never use suction bath mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

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:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common questions in King's Lynn

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Are there extra charges for King's Lynn?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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