Landlord and trade work in St Margaret South Elmham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath re-enamelling in St Margaret South Elmham without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

St Margaret South Elmham: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to St Margaret South Elmham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to St Margaret South Elmham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
