What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Common problems we fix in Norwich Lanes
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Norwich Lanes
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Norwich Lanes. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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 it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Most customers in Norwich Lanes get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
