Bath re-enamelling in Comberton without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Comberton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Comberton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When to call us in Comberton
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Comberton. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
