Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bolam
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bolam as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Bolam
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bolam
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
