Bath re-enamelling in Hintlesham without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays

- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common questions in Hintlesham
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
