Bath re-enamelling in Boyland Common, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Boyland Common
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Boyland Common. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
FAQs for Boyland Common
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Boyland Common?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your IP22 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
