Bath re-enamelling in Saxlingham Nethergate without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Questions from Saxlingham Nethergate
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Saxlingham Nethergate?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NR15 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day. The room is left tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
