About our bath re-enamelling in Grundisburgh
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repairing versus replacing in Grundisburgh
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Grundisburgh
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Grundisburgh?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Grundisburgh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
