Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Yaxley. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Yaxley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Yaxley
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
You don’t 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 reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace in Yaxley?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Yaxley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Yaxley
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
We cover the whole UK, including Yaxley and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
