About our bath re-enamelling in Trumpington
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For a price in Trumpington, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Questions from Trumpington
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What we’re called out for in Trumpington

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
