How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sharpstone Street
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Advice
FAQs for Sharpstone Street
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Sharpstone Street?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
