About our bath re-enamelling in Grantchester
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Grantchester?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that will not shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Grantchester
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you come to Grantchester?
We do. Technicians travel to Grantchester from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
