About our bath re-enamelling in Baconsthorpe
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Baconsthorpe
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Landlord and trade work in Baconsthorpe
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
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 typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
FAQs for Baconsthorpe
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
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 it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
