What else we do in Boultham
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Common questions in Boultham
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Boultham included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are there extra charges for Boultham?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
