Bath re-enamelling at your home in Normans' Bay
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Normans' Bay?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that is failing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Normans' Bay
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Normans' Bay
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Normans' Bay, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
