We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Boddam
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
