FAQs for Santon Downham
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- 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
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Santon Downham
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace in Santon Downham?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
