Bath re-enamelling in Pooley Street, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairing versus replacing in Pooley Street
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Pooley Street
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Comparing quotes
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Pooley Street questions
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Pooley Street?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
