How we handle bath re-enamelling in Somersham
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Somersham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Somersham questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Somersham?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
