Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Earl Stonham, Suffolk
We travel to Earl Stonham for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
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.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Bath re-enamelling in Earl Stonham, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

What affects the price in Earl Stonham
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Earl Stonham, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Earl Stonham: your questions answered
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
