Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Ravenswood, Suffolk
Damaged bath in Ravenswood? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ravenswood
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Landlord and trade work in Ravenswood
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ravenswood as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ravenswood?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What affects the price in Ravenswood
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Ravenswood questions
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
