Look out for these signs:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Choosing a repair company

About our bath re-enamelling in Sheringham

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sheringham

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Sheringham included. Travel is included in the price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Sheringham

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

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place

What affects the price in Sheringham

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Sheringham. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
