About our bath re-enamelling in Pavenham
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Pavenham
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Pavenham, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pavenham
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Different materials, different repairs
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 is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
