About our bath re-enamelling in Northwold
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Northwold
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Northwold. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Northwold: your questions answered
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Repair or replace in Northwold?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
