Landlords, agents and businesses in Taverham
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Bath re-enamelling in Taverham, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Taverham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive

- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Taverham?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Taverham: your questions answered
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you come to Taverham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Taverham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Repair or replace in Taverham?

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
