About our bath re-enamelling in Smith's End
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- 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
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Smith's End
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One price list for the entire UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smith's End
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Smith's End questions
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
