About our bath re-enamelling in Fornham St Martin
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Fornham St Martin questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you come to Fornham St Martin?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Fornham St Martin from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
When to call us in Fornham St Martin
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
