Bath re-enamelling at your home in Boulton
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repair or replace in Boulton?
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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Boulton

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Common questions in Boulton
Do you work in Boulton?
We do. We send a technician to Boulton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Boulton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
