Bath re-enamelling for Haddenham homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Haddenham

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Haddenham

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

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

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Haddenham

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Haddenham

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

If you are in Haddenham and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Common problems we fix in Haddenham

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Common reasons people in Haddenham contact us are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure

Repairing versus replacing in Haddenham

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start 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 you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
