Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Snape, Suffolk
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Snape and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that won’t shift
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Snape
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Snape: your questions answered
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Snape?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
What affects the price in Snape
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Snape?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the entire UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
