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.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in St Cross South Elmham
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we are called out for in St Cross South Elmham

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions from St Cross South Elmham
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
