Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Bacton without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we’re called out for in Bacton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
