Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Shaftenhoe End, Cambridgeshire
Problem with your bath in Shaftenhoe End? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use 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 removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What else we do in Shaftenhoe End
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SG8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Shaftenhoe End
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
