Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dereham
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. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps, we can normally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

FAQs for Dereham
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Norfolk.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dereham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
