Bath re-enamelling for Shouldham homes

Bath re-enamelling in Shouldham, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shouldham

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Shouldham?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Shouldham

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
