FAQs for Butley
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
Across the UK, and that includes Butley. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Butley. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Common problems we fix in Butley
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What affects the price in Butley
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Butley
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Butley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
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 what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
