Bath re-enamelling near Norton

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Norton

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Norton as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Norton

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Are there extra charges for Norton?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How long is the bath unusable?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Norton and the rest of Swansea. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is 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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Norton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Landlord and trade work in Norton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Norton

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
