Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Old Hurst, Cambridgeshire
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Old Hurst, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our bath re-enamelling in Old Hurst
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Old Hurst. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Old Hurst
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Old Hurst?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
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.
