Bath re-enamelling near Norwell

About our bath re-enamelling in Norwell

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Questions from Norwell

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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 prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we are called out for in Norwell

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Have chips seen to early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
