Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Box Trees
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
When to call us in Box Trees
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- 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.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Warwickshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Box Trees
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Box Trees. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
