Bath re-enamelling in Cretingham without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cretingham and across Suffolk.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Cretingham: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Are there extra charges for Cretingham?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you come to Cretingham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Cretingham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cretingham?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Common reasons people in Cretingham contact us are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 the part we put right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cretingham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
