Bath re-enamelling in Longstanton without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Longstanton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longstanton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Longstanton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
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 will ask.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
