How we handle bath re-enamelling in Witcham
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. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Witcham. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Witcham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Witcham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Witcham questions
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CB6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.
