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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whitton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Whitton?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for any of the following:
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

- What prep work is covered

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Whitton
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Whitton
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops

What we do, step by step

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
