What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Bath re-enamelling in Thursford without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thursford and across Norfolk.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Thursford

Do you cover Thursford?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking
