Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bothamsall
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Bothamsall questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Bothamsall. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bothamsall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Bothamsall get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bothamsall?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
