About our bath re-enamelling in Boothgate
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Boothgate
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you work in Boothgate?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Boothgate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Landlord and trade work in Boothgate
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boothgate use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths

Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
