Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lower Street
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Lower Street
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you come to Lower Street?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lower Street and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Lower Street
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Landlord and trade work in Lower Street
If you manage property in Lower Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
