Bath re-enamelling in Litcham

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Litcham

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Litcham?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Litcham

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Litcham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Litcham

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Litcham?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE32 postcode.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Litcham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Litcham and the rest of Norfolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Litcham?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Store bottles off the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

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