Bath Re-enamelling in Scratby
Bath re-enamelling across Scratby and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bath re-enamelling in Scratby without replacing anything
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. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Scratby and across Norfolk.

Common problems we fix in Scratby
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Landlord and trade work in Scratby
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why Scratby customers choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Everything repaired in place

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Scratby. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
