Bath re-enamelling at your home in Babraham
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Babraham. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Babraham questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Babraham?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for these signs:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Babraham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
