About our bath re-enamelling in Leiston
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Questions from Leiston
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Leiston.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
