Bath re-enamelling near Shelton

Shelton: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?

We cover the entire UK, including Shelton and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Bath re-enamelling in Shelton without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and wear marks under the taps, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Shelton

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shelton?

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches

  • Whether they match the colour on site

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shelton

If you manage property in Shelton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We don’t 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.
