How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thurne

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Thurne

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thurne use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Thurne questions

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NR29 postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Thurne?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
