Thurgarton questions
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NR11 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Bath re-enamelling in Thurgarton without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we’re called out for in Thurgarton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site

- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
