How we handle bath re-enamelling in Norris Green
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Norris Green and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Norris Green
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that is failing

FAQs for Norris Green
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Norris Green and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Norris Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
