About our bath re-enamelling in Little Fransham

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that is rusted through

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

Materials we work on in Little Fransham

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Little Fransham

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white
