Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Rushford, Norfolk
Our repair technicians come to Rushford for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Bath re-enamelling in Rushford without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can typically put it right.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

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 a new finish makes them look new again.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rushford
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Rushford: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP24 postcode.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Rushford
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Clients usually contact us about:

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
