How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Postwick
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Postwick and across Norfolk.

What else we do in Postwick
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Postwick?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What affects the price in Postwick
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Questions from Postwick
Do you come to Postwick?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Postwick. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Where we work around Postwick
Postwick is about 4 miles east of Norwich, in Norfolk. We work in every kind of home, old or new, large or small, plus businesses and rented homes. Postwick is one of 797 towns and villages in Norfolk where we work.
We work across the NR13 postcode area. That includes homes on Leeder Hill, Oak's Lane and The Glebe. Nearby, we also work in Kirby Bedon (2 miles south-west), Thorpe St Andrew (2 miles north-west), Thorpe End (2 miles north-west), Heartsease (3 miles north-west) and Thorpe Hamlet (3 miles west). We also work in nearby towns such as Norwich (4 miles west), Great Yarmouth (14 miles east), Wymondham (12 miles west), Gorleston-on-Sea (14 miles east), Sprowston (4 miles north-west) and North Walsham (14 miles north).
Around Postwick
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Church of All Saints, Whitlingham Marsh and The Ferry House and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Brundall Gardens station, roughly 1.2 miles east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Strumpshaw Hall Steam Museum (3.2 miles east) and Claxton Castle (3.5 miles south-east). Not far away are Bargate and RSPB Surlingham Church Marsh.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Postwick use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
