Bath re-enamelling in Flixton without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Flixton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Flixton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Flixton?
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 normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Comparing quotes

- How the colour is matched

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Flixton questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
