DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Barnardiston
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Common questions in Barnardiston
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Barnardiston?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
