What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sprowston
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sprowston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Sprowston: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

We do. Repair technicians travel to Sprowston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
