Bath re-enamelling near Sharrington

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Sharrington without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Common problems we fix in Sharrington

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Sharrington: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Norfolk.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sharrington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Sharrington

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
