Repairing versus replacing in Bopeep
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Bopeep customers choose us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Bath re-enamelling in Bopeep, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Bopeep questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Bopeep
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Bopeep. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
For a price in Bopeep, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What else we do in Bopeep
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
