About our bath re-enamelling in Boyton

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

Repair or replace in Boyton?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
