Bath re-enamelling at your home in Broome
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Broome?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
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.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR35 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Landlord and trade work in Broome
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Questions from Broome
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
