Bath re-enamelling in Snailwell, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Snailwell and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Snailwell

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Stains that will not shift
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white

Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
