When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

What we work on

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

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Pulham St Mary, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Pulham St Mary, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pulham St Mary?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in Pulham St Mary?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
