About our bath re-enamelling in Balsham
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Balsham?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Balsham questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Balsham?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
