Bath Re-enamelling in Nacton
Problem with your bath in Nacton? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath re-enamelling in Nacton without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Nacton
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Nacton
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Nacton
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
