Common questions in Wendling

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Are there extra charges for Wendling?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you work in Wendling?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wendling and the rest of Norfolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wendling

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wendling

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wendling as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Wendling

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Wendling

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in Wendling

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
