About our bath re-enamelling in Badwell Ash
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Common questions in Badwell Ash
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you work in Badwell Ash?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Badwell Ash and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
