Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths

Common questions in Framingham Earl
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
