Bath re-enamelling in West Runton

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Bath re-enamelling in West Runton, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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

What we are called out for in West Runton

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before booking anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common questions in West Runton

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
