Bath re-enamelling in Chesterton without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chesterton as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Chesterton
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
FAQs for Chesterton
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Are there extra charges for Chesterton?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we are called out for in Chesterton
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that will not shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Chesterton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit
