How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rushmere St Andrew
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Rushmere St Andrew
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your IP5 postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Rushmere St Andrew and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

What affects the price in Rushmere St Andrew
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Rushmere St Andrew. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top 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.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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.
