Bath re-enamelling at your home in Orford
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Orford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common questions in Orford
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work in Orford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Orford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Orford
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Orford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: 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’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
