Bath re-enamelling for Thurgarton homes

Questions from Thurgarton

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Thurgarton?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you cover Thurgarton?

We do. We send a technician to Thurgarton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

About our bath re-enamelling in Thurgarton

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
