Bath re-enamelling near Pymoor

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pymoor

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Pymoor

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pymoor

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cambridgeshire.

Are there extra charges for Pymoor?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What affects the price in Pymoor

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

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. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pymoor

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
