Ely: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Bath re-enamelling in Ely, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ely
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ely. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
