About our bath re-enamelling in Fulbourn

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Can I fix it myself?

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Fulbourn

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fulbourn use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
