What affects the price in Brome Street
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Brome Street. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Bath re-enamelling in Brome Street, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Common questions in Brome Street
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
