Bath re-enamelling in Cherry Hinton without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Cherry Hinton: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlord and trade work in Cherry Hinton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cherry Hinton?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
