How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hoe?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hoe
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Hoe included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Hoe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hoe and the rest of Norfolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
