How we handle bath re-enamelling in Comberton
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Comberton and across Cambridgeshire.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Comberton
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Comberton questions
Are there extra charges for Comberton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you come to Comberton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Comberton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Repairing versus replacing in Comberton
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Comberton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Comberton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
