Bath Re-enamelling in Kesgrave
Bath re-enamelling across Kesgrave and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Bath re-enamelling in Kesgrave, 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. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
