Bath re-enamelling in Old Buckenham, done in place
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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
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.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Old Buckenham: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover Old Buckenham?
We do. Technicians travel to Old Buckenham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Old Buckenham?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Old Buckenham?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Old Buckenham
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Old Buckenham and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
