Trusted bath re-enamelling in Salhouse

Bath re-enamelling in Salhouse, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Salhouse

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Salhouse, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Salhouse. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common questions in Salhouse

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover Salhouse?

We do. We send a technician to Salhouse for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
