Repairing versus replacing in Wimpole
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Wimpole, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wimpole use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wimpole?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Wimpole
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Wimpole. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Wimpole, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
