About our bath re-enamelling in Rougham
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re often asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Rougham
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Rougham?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Related advice
Rougham: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
