Bath re-enamelling at your home in Boghead
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boghead use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Most customers in Boghead get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Boghead
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Common questions in Boghead
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Boghead?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
