Trusted bath re-enamelling in Boughrood

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

About our bath re-enamelling in Boughrood

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Boughrood get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Boughrood

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Powys. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Boughrood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
