How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Henny
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What else we do in Little Henny
Little Henny: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Little Henny?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO10 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Little Henny
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Little Henny. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace in Little Henny?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
