Bath Re-enamelling in Earl Soham
Damaged bath in Earl Soham? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath re-enamelling in Earl Soham without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairing versus replacing in Earl Soham
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything
Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Earl Soham. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What we are called out for in Earl Soham
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before booking anyone
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Earl Soham questions
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Across the UK, and that includes Earl Soham. Prices do not change with location.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
