Bath re-enamelling at your home in Boscombe
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Boscombe
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Boscombe.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we’re called out for in Boscombe
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
What affects the price in Boscombe
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
If you are in Boscombe and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
