Bath re-enamelling at your home in Borley
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Borley. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t 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 will reply with a fixed price.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Borley questions
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
