Landlords, agents and businesses in Rushbrooke
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Bath re-enamelling in Rushbrooke, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we are called out for in Rushbrooke
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Questions from Rushbrooke
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you come to Rushbrooke?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rushbrooke and the rest of Suffolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
