Bath re-enamelling in Aldringham, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Aldringham
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?

- Rooms protected and left tidy
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Questions from Aldringham
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Aldringham?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Everywhere in the UK, Aldringham included. Travel is included in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we’re called out for in Aldringham
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Look out for these signs:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What prep work is covered
