Bath re-enamelling near Sparham

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

About our bath re-enamelling in Sparham

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Sparham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Sparham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Common problems we fix in Sparham

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

How to compare quotes

FAQs for Sparham

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
