Common questions in New Buckenham
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in New Buckenham
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in New Buckenham
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
