Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for North Walsham. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Cast iron

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

North Walsham: your questions answered

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover North Walsham?

We do. We send a technician to North Walsham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in North Walsham?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • 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.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
