About our bath re-enamelling in Holton
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Holton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Holton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Holton
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Holton?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
We cover the entire UK, including Holton and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
