About our bath re-enamelling in Pulham

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we’re called out for in Pulham

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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

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 pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pulham

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Pulham?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
