What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Waxham
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Waxham questions
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Waxham?
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Repair or replace in Waxham?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Waxham
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
