Bath re-enamelling in Worlingworth, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we work on in Worlingworth

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

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.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Worlingworth

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Look out for these signs:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
