How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Battisford Tye. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
About our bath re-enamelling in Battisford Tye
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
