How we handle bath re-enamelling in Boldron
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, 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 as standard.

Repair or replace in Boldron?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Boldron. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Boldron questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Boldron?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
