Bath re-enamelling in Godmanchester, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Godmanchester and across Cambridgeshire.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Godmanchester. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Godmanchester

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Godmanchester

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
