Bath re-enamelling for Bogthorn homes

Bath re-enamelling in Bogthorn without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Bogthorn

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Bogthorn get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
