About our bath re-enamelling in Hopton
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Hopton. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP22 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we’re called out for in Hopton
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Clients typically contact us about:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change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
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Hopton questions
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
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.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
