Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that will not shift

What to look for in a quote

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

Roll-top and period baths

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Morningthorpe

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Morningthorpe, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Morningthorpe: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you work in Morningthorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Morningthorpe and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
