FAQs for Sproughton
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you come to Sproughton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sproughton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sproughton
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and lots of chips and rust spots, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Sproughton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Common reasons people in Sproughton contact us are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Usually one visit, start to finish

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
