Need bath re-enamelling in Norton Little Green?

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

About our bath re-enamelling in Norton Little Green

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repairing versus replacing in Norton Little Green

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from Norton Little Green

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Do the materials smell?

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

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Never use suction bath mats

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we’re called out for in Norton Little Green

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Most customers in Norton Little Green get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
