Bath re-enamelling at your home in Blo' Norton
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What else we do in Blo' Norton
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Blo' Norton questions
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
When to call us in Blo' Norton
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Look out for these signs:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
