Repair or replace in Ludham Bridge?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Ludham Bridge
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ludham Bridge?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR29 postcode.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you come to Ludham Bridge?
We do. We send a technician to Ludham Bridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What affects the price in Ludham Bridge
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
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.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
