Bath re-enamelling in Ilketshall St Andrew without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Questions from Ilketshall St Andrew
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Ilketshall St Andrew?

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
