Bath re-enamelling at your home in Foals Green
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after 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 day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Foals Green
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Common reasons people in Foals Green contact us include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
FAQs for Foals Green
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Foals Green and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Foals Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Foals Green and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.
Landlord and trade work in Foals Green
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
