Bath re-enamelling in Botcherby without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Botcherby as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Botcherby
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift

Repairing versus replacing in Botcherby
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters
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 the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What else we do in Botcherby
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What affects the price in Botcherby
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Botcherby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Botcherby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Botcherby
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Do you come to Botcherby?
We do. We send a technician to Botcherby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
