Bath re-enamelling in Bottom Boat, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bottom Boat?

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Common questions in Bottom Boat
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
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.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Bottom Boat?
We do. We send a technician to Bottom Boat for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

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. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
