Bath re-enamelling in Thorpe Hamlet, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

What we are called out for in Thorpe Hamlet
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
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.

Repair or replace in Thorpe Hamlet?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
