Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Kirby Row without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kirby Row
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirby Row as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
