Bath Re-enamelling for Dockeney homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Dockeney, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Dockeney, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
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 the part we put right.
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 check it carefully.
Dockeney questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
What affects the price in Dockeney
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
