FAQs for Thorpe St Andrew
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we’re called out for in Thorpe St Andrew
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that won’t shift
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day

What we can’t put right

- A bath that’s rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
