Bath Re-enamelling in Great Abington
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for householders, landlords and businesses in Great Abington. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
About our bath re-enamelling in Great Abington
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Great Abington
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
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 price the same day in most cases.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Abington
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
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.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Abington
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Great Abington questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Great Abington.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Great Abington?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
