About our bath re-enamelling in Great Ellingham
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Great Ellingham and across Norfolk.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Ellingham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

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