What affects the price in Southwold
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Southwold, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Southwold
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Repair or replace in Southwold?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- A fixed quote before you book

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Southwold?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southwold use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Southwold
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
