Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lakenheath and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No extra charge for your area
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops

Landlord and trade work in Lakenheath
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 Lakenheath as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Lakenheath questions
Do you come to Lakenheath?
We do. Technicians travel to Lakenheath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lakenheath?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IP27 postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
