Questions from Ickworth
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Bath re-enamelling in Ickworth, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are stains that won’t shift and wear marks under the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we are called out for in Ickworth
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for any of the following:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that won’t shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
