Trusted bath re-enamelling in Reepham

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

About our bath re-enamelling in Reepham

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Reepham

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Reepham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

What affects the price in Reepham

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Reepham, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Reepham

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Reepham?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Common problems we fix in Reepham

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
