Do you need bath re-enamelling in Little Shelford?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
About our bath re-enamelling in Little Shelford
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Shelford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Little Shelford

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Little Shelford
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Little Shelford, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
