DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Boarhunt
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and stains that won’t shift.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Boarhunt
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Boarhunt
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that won’t shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected

- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Boarhunt. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Boarhunt, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Boarhunt: your questions answered
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
