Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stretham
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
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 with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Stretham: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?
We work UK-wide, so Stretham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you come to Stretham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Stretham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos 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
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
