Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Westbourne, Suffolk
Bath re-enamelling across Westbourne and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Westbourne
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Westbourne?
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that will not shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Westbourne: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you come to Westbourne?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Westbourne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
