Repairs by material
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 the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Norton
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Norton. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Norton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Norton
Which areas do you work in?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
