Bath re-enamelling in Reed, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Reed?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Reed
For anyone letting property in or around Reed, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Reed: your questions answered
Do you cover Reed?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Reed and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
If you are in Reed and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
