Bath re-enamelling at your home in East Rudham
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in East Rudham
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in East Rudham
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Common problems we fix in East Rudham
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
