How we handle bath re-enamelling in Frettenham
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Frettenham and across Norfolk.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Frettenham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Frettenham questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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 pictures.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Frettenham

Common reasons people in Frettenham contact us are:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
