Bath re-enamelling in Huntingdon

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Huntingdon

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Huntingdon questions

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Huntingdon included. Travel is included in the price.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

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.

What affects the price in Huntingdon

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Huntingdon

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
