How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gamlingay
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and chips and rust in more than one place.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gamlingay as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gamlingay
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

What affects the price in Gamlingay
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
