About our bath re-enamelling in Littleport
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What affects the price in Littleport
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Littleport and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace in Littleport?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?

Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
