Repairing versus replacing in Cambridge

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Cambridge
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Cambridge questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Landlord and trade work in Cambridge
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Cambridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. 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 resurfacing gives them a new life.
When to call us in Cambridge
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cambridge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
