Bath re-enamelling in Shottisham without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Shottisham
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Shottisham
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
