How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hemley
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hemley as everywhere else we work.

What your bath is made of matters
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
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hemley.
Do the materials smell?

Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
