Bath re-enamelling at your home in Linstead Parva
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Linstead Parva as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Common questions in Linstead Parva
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Linstead Parva included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Linstead Parva. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
