About our bath re-enamelling in Aubourn
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Aubourn
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Aubourn. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Aubourn questions
Do you come to Aubourn?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Aubourn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Aubourn
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Aubourn
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
