- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Bath re-enamelling in Pockthorpe, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
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’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Pockthorpe questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Pockthorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Pockthorpe and the rest of Norfolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
