Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Haughley New Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Haughley New Street
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Haughley New Street, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Haughley New Street
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Haughley New Street?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
