Bath re-enamelling in Boxwell, done in place
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. We’re frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Boxwell and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Boxwell: your questions answered
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Boxwell?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL8 postcode.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Landlord and trade work in Boxwell
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
