What affects the price in Little Chesterford
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath re-enamelling in Little Chesterford without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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 the part we put right.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Little Chesterford
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Questions from Little Chesterford
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
