Bath re-enamelling in North Pickenham, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in North Pickenham
If you manage property in North Pickenham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in North Pickenham
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you come to North Pickenham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to North Pickenham and the rest of Norfolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When to call us in North Pickenham
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
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. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
