Bath re-enamelling in Earlham without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Earlham: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
We work UK-wide, so Earlham is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Common problems we fix in Earlham
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Earlham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
