Bath re-enamelling at your home in Burnham Overy Staithe
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Burnham Overy Staithe as everywhere else we work.

Burnham Overy Staithe: your questions answered
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in Burnham Overy Staithe
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE31 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
