Bath re-enamelling in Wetheringsett without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wetheringsett and across Suffolk.

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 normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What else we do in Wetheringsett
Landlord and trade work in Wetheringsett
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
What affects the price in Wetheringsett
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Common questions in Wetheringsett
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
