How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wattisham Stone
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Wattisham Stone
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Dry the bath after use if possible, 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.

Questions from Wattisham Stone
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
