Bath Re-enamelling in Ipswich Garden Suburb
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Ipswich Garden Suburb, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that will not shift
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Bath re-enamelling in Ipswich Garden Suburb without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Ipswich Garden Suburb questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
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.
Do you cover Ipswich Garden Suburb?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ipswich Garden Suburb for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
When to call us in Ipswich Garden Suburb
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Ipswich Garden Suburb
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ipswich Garden Suburb as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
