Bath re-enamelling at your home in Caistor St Edmund
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Caistor St Edmund
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Caistor St Edmund questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
For anyone letting property in or around Caistor St Edmund, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before 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 what we repair.
