About our bath re-enamelling in Poslingford
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Poslingford
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage

When to call us in Poslingford
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Poslingford
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Poslingford. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
