Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bogend
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What affects the price in Bogend
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When to call us in Bogend
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
