Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

About our bath re-enamelling in Botesdale Green
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we do, step by step
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 generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP22 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Botesdale Green
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Common problems we fix in Botesdale Green
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Botesdale Green contact us are:
