About our bath re-enamelling in Bury St Edmunds
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repairing versus replacing in Bury St Edmunds
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bury St Edmunds. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry

- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking

- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
Bury St Edmunds questions
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
