About our bath re-enamelling in Watton

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Watton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Watton

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
