Bath re-enamelling for Southrepps homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

About our bath re-enamelling in Southrepps

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Southrepps

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Southrepps?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

Common problems we fix in Southrepps

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

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

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
