How we handle bath re-enamelling in Docking
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common questions in Docking
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you work in Docking?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Docking and the rest of Norfolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Docking?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Repairing versus replacing in Docking
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Docking
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
