Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Bath re-enamelling in Knettishall without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Knettishall: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Knettishall?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Knettishall and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Repairing versus replacing in Knettishall
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we are called out for in Knettishall
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Knettishall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
