Bath re-enamelling in Copdock, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Copdock
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Copdock

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Copdock
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Copdock: your questions answered
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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 is what we repair.
