DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Upper Street?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Upper Street

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Upper Street?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upper Street. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?

Across the UK, so Upper Street is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we work on in Upper Street

  • Basins & shower trays

When to call us in Upper Street

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Look out for these signs:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Street

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
