Bath re-enamelling in Stowmarket, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Stowmarket
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Stowmarket
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Stowmarket. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
If you’re in Stowmarket and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
