Bath re-enamelling at your home in Buckworth
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Common problems we fix in Buckworth
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Buckworth questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
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.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Buckworth and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Buckworth. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
