Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Whittlesford, Cambridgeshire
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for householders, landlords and businesses in Whittlesford. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Whittlesford
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Whittlesford
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whittlesford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Whittlesford
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- 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 usually ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Whittlesford questions
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Whittlesford?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CB22 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
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.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
