Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ely
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
When to call us in Ely

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that won’t shift

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ely, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Ely questions
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Ely?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ely. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
