Bath re-enamelling in Ilketshall St Lawrence, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays

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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Common questions in Ilketshall St Lawrence
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Ilketshall St Lawrence. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
