Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before you book

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bolnhurst
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Bolnhurst
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
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 is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bolnhurst. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
