Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Martlesham, Suffolk
Damaged bath in Martlesham? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What affects the price in Martlesham

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we are called out for in Martlesham
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
FAQs for Martlesham
Is my repair covered?

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.
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.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
