Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Arrington and across Cambridgeshire.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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 what we repair.

When to call us in Arrington

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

FAQs for Arrington

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Arrington

  • Cast iron baths

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
