Bath re-enamelling in Boroughby without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Boroughby as everywhere else we work.

What a repair can’t fix

- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Boroughby questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
All of Peterborough, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Boroughby?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Boroughby. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
