About our bath re-enamelling in Shepreth
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Shepreth
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Shepreth?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shepreth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

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 are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
