Bath re-enamelling in South Lopham, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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 normally cheaper.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in South Lopham

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are there extra charges for South Lopham?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in South Lopham

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

If you are in South Lopham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
