About our bath re-enamelling in Flowton
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

When to call us in Flowton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No extra charge for your area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What affects the price in Flowton
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
