About our bath re-enamelling in Broughton
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Broughton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays

What else we do in Broughton
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What affects the price in Broughton
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PE28 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Broughton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broughton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Questions from Broughton
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Broughton?
We do. Technicians travel to Broughton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
