How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upper Staploe
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What affects the price in Upper Staploe
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Upper Staploe
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Upper Staploe and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are there extra charges for Upper Staploe?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Staploe
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
