Bath Re-enamelling for Tivetshall St Margaret homes
We travel to Tivetshall St Margaret for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 generally the cheaper route.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tivetshall St Margaret
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tivetshall St Margaret?

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
