Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shudy Camps
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Shudy Camps questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Shudy Camps. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Shudy Camps
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for any of the following:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.

- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
