Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Little Wenham, Suffolk
Damaged bath in Little Wenham? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Wenham
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Wenham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Little Wenham
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
