Bath Re-enamelling for The Bodnetts homes
We travel to The Bodnetts for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Bath re-enamelling in The Bodnetts without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When to call us in The Bodnetts
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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 isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
