Bath re-enamelling in New Hainford, done in place

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We’re often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in New Hainford and across Norfolk.

What affects the price in New Hainford

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in New Hainford and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in New Hainford

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Hainford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
