About our bath re-enamelling in Belstead
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Belstead
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for Belstead
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
We cover the entire UK, including Belstead and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
