Bath re-enamelling in East Perry without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Perry
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common questions in East Perry
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you come to East Perry?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to East Perry for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?
The whole UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in East Perry
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in East Perry?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically 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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
