Trusted bath re-enamelling in Exning

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

Bath re-enamelling in Exning without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Exning and across Cambridgeshire.

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Exning, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Exning customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Exning

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

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.
