Bath re-enamelling in Norwich without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Norwich: your questions answered
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover Norwich?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Norwich and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Common problems we fix in Norwich
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
