Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

What affects the price in Norton

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Norton

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Halton. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Norton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Halton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common problems we fix in Norton

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
