Bath re-enamelling in Yelling, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yelling as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Yelling

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Yelling. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Yelling: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Yelling and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
