About our bath re-enamelling in Ixworth
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace in Ixworth?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ixworth?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
