How we handle bath re-enamelling in North Earlham

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

North Earlham questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

Everywhere in the UK, North Earlham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in North Earlham?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after.

When to call us in North Earlham

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
