How we handle bath re-enamelling in Somersham
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Somersham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Somersham
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Somersham?
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Somersham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Somersham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
