Questions from Girton
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Girton?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you cover Girton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Girton and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Girton. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Covering Girton
Girton is about 3 miles north-west of Cambridge, in Cambridgeshire. We travel to clients in Girton and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. We work in 371 places across Cambridgeshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our jobs stretch from Girton to London (51 miles away).
Here we cover the CB3 postcode area. From High Street, Gifford's Close and Hicks Lane or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. Other places close to Girton include Howes (1 mile south-east), Eddington (1 mile south), Oakington (2 miles north), Madingley (2 miles south-west) and Westwick (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Cambridge (3 miles south-east), St Neots (15 miles west), Huntingdon (13 miles north-west), St Ives (10 miles north-west), Newmarket (13 miles east) and Ely (14 miles north-east).
Landmarks near Girton
We visit homes around Church of St Andrew, Gretton School and Girton Glebe Primary School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Cambridge North station, about 3.3 miles east. Nearby you’ll also find Cambridge Castle (2.1 miles south-east) and Grand Arcade (2.7 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Paradise Fen nature reserve.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
