About our bath re-enamelling in Claxton
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures 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.

Common problems we fix in Claxton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Stains that will not shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Other services in Claxton
Landlords, agents and businesses in Claxton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Claxton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Claxton
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are there extra charges for Claxton?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you cover Claxton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Claxton and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
