Bath re-enamelling at your home in Little Bradley
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Bradley
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 normally cheaper.
Little Bradley: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Little Bradley?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
