What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Saxlingham Thorpe. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
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 reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Saxlingham Thorpe: your questions answered
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you come to Saxlingham Thorpe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Saxlingham Thorpe and the rest of Norfolk. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we’re called out for in Saxlingham Thorpe
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
