Bath re-enamelling in Bedfield without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Common questions in Bedfield
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you work in Bedfield?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bedfield and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Repair or replace in Bedfield?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
