Questions from Bar Hill
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cambridgeshire.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
About our bath re-enamelling in Bar Hill
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bar Hill as everywhere else we work.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Bar Hill

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bar Hill
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Bar Hill
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
