Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wangford
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
What we’re called out for in Wangford
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
