The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

About our bath re-enamelling in Strumpshaw
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Strumpshaw as everywhere else we work.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.
Why Strumpshaw clients choose us
- Work done at your home or business

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Strumpshaw
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through

Landlords, agents and businesses in Strumpshaw
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Strumpshaw use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Strumpshaw
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Strumpshaw?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Strumpshaw and the rest of Norfolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
