How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kirby Bedon

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Kirby Bedon and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Kirby Bedon

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.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Kirby Bedon. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

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

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