Bath re-enamelling in Holkham, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Holkham
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures 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, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

When to call us in Holkham
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Holkham
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you come to Holkham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Holkham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
