Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Saxlingham. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Saxlingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Saxlingham

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Saxlingham and across Norfolk.

What we’re called out for in Saxlingham

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Saxlingham

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 Saxlingham?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
