Bath re-enamelling in Westgate

About our bath re-enamelling in Westgate

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Westgate and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Westgate: your questions answered

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Westgate?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?

We work UK-wide, so Westgate is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Westgate?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Westgate. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
