Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thursford Green

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area

Thursford Green questions

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What we’re called out for in Thursford Green

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Thursford Green

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
