When to call us in Great Gransden
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repair or replace in Great Gransden?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What else we do in Great Gransden
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Great Gransden questions
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Great Gransden?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Great Gransden. The price depends on:

- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Great Gransden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Your postcode, so we can check dates
