Bath re-enamelling for South Pickenham homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in South Pickenham

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

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.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in South Pickenham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we are called out for in South Pickenham

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

Materials we work on in South Pickenham

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
