How we handle bath re-enamelling in Buckenham
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We are frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Buckenham
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Buckenham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Buckenham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Repairing versus replacing in Buckenham
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Landlord and trade work in Buckenham
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Buckenham
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
