What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

About our bath re-enamelling in Mattishall

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Mattishall

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Will there be fumes?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mattishall

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Mattishall. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Mattishall?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that will not shift

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

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, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
