Bath re-enamelling in Gorleston-on-Sea, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Gorleston-on-Sea questions
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Gorleston-on-Sea. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
