How we handle bath re-enamelling in Offord D'Arcy

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Offord D'Arcy questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Offord D'Arcy?

We do. We send a technician to Offord D'Arcy for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What affects the price in Offord D'Arcy

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Offord D'Arcy

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Landlord and trade work in Offord D'Arcy

If you manage property in Offord D'Arcy, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  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
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
