Bixley questions
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bixley?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Bixley
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
For a price in Bixley, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
