DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Rougham

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common questions in Rougham

Are there extra charges for Rougham?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

Across the UK, so Rougham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is my repair covered?

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

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Rougham get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rougham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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