Bath re-enamelling at your home in Little Thetford

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Little Thetford: your questions answered

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Little Thetford?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
