Normacot: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Stoke-on-Trent.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What affects the price in Normacot

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Normacot, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Normacot

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Normacot. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
