Bath re-enamelling in Ickburgh, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry

Ickburgh questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ickburgh?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Ickburgh included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Ickburgh
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
