Bath re-enamelling at your home in Fordham
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Fordham and the surrounding area

Fordham is one of 371 towns and villages in Cambridgeshire we cover. Our jobs stretch from Fordham to London (60 miles away).
All of CB7 is covered. Jobs here include addresses on Market Street, Station Road and Sharman's Road.

Near you in Fordham
We visit homes around Fordham CofE Primary School, Parish Church of St Peter and Soham Village College and the streets around them. Also close by are Isleham Nature Reserve (1.4 miles north-east) and The Crown pub (0.5 miles east). For rail, the closest station is Soham station, about 2.9 miles north-west. Other landmarks nearby include Freckenham Castle (2.6 miles east). Not far away are Fordham Woods.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

FAQs for Fordham
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Fordham?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CB7 postcode.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Fordham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Fordham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fordham?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
