Bath Re-enamelling for Hollybush Corner homes
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Hollybush Corner and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hollybush Corner
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hollybush Corner and across Suffolk.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP30 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Questions from Hollybush Corner
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
When to call us in Hollybush Corner
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish

What else we do in Hollybush Corner
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
