Bath re-enamelling near Norton

Bath re-enamelling in Norton, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Norton

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

10 questions to ask before booking

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Norton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Norton customers choose us

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common questions in Norton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
