Bath re-enamelling at your home in Boxted
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Boxted. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
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.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Questions from Boxted
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work in Boxted?
We do. Technicians travel to Boxted from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Repair or replace in Boxted?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
