How we handle bath re-enamelling in Castle Acre
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairing versus replacing in Castle Acre
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Castle Acre, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Castle Acre, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
