Bath re-enamelling in Hollesley without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hollesley
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hollesley?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you cover Hollesley?
We do. We send a technician to Hollesley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Are there extra charges for Hollesley?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hollesley?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Customers normally contact us about:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
