Bath re-enamelling in St Ives, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and lots of chips and rust spots.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including St Ives. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

St Ives questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in St Ives?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
There is 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 reply with a fixed price.
