Bath re-enamelling near Little Fakenham

About our bath re-enamelling in Little Fakenham

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Little Fakenham. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Little Fakenham

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Little Fakenham questions

Do you work in Little Fakenham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Little Fakenham and the rest of Norfolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are there extra charges for Little Fakenham?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
