How we handle bath re-enamelling in Misery Corner
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are stains that won’t shift and wear marks under the taps.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Misery Corner
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repairs by material
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
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we’re called out for in Misery Corner
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that will not shift
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
