Bath re-enamelling in Blyford, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repair or replace in Blyford?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Blyford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Blyford: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Blyford?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What affects the price in Blyford
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
