What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Downham
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Downham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Downham
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Downham
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Norfolk.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Downham?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR18 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
We work UK-wide, so Downham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
