Bath re-enamelling in Boardy Green, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Questions from Boardy Green
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Boardy Green.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Landlord and trade work in Boardy Green
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boardy Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
