Bath re-enamelling in Brancaster Staithe without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Brancaster Staithe
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 typically cheaper.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Brancaster Staithe questions

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Brancaster Staithe?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE31 postcode.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Brancaster Staithe

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
