Bath re-enamelling in Athelington without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlord and trade work in Athelington
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Athelington
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
