Common problems we fix in North Cove
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
Landlords, agents and businesses in North Cove
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Cove as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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 won’t last.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
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. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Common questions in North Cove
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
