Bath re-enamelling in Freethorpe without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We are often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Freethorpe.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that is rusted through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Freethorpe
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Landlord and trade work in Freethorpe
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Freethorpe and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
