About our bath re-enamelling in Six Mile Bottom

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Six Mile Bottom

If you manage property in Six Mile Bottom, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

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 matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Questions from Six Mile Bottom

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Six Mile Bottom?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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