Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Salthouse, Norfolk
Problem with your bath in Salthouse? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Bath re-enamelling in Salthouse without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Salthouse: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
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 there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we are called out for in Salthouse
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
Repair or replace in Salthouse?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Same prices wherever you are
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
