Bath re-enamelling near Holywell

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

About our bath re-enamelling in Holywell

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repair or replace in Holywell?

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. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our full price list or bath cost comparison.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Holywell and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Holywell questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cambridgeshire.

What happens next?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
