Bath re-enamelling in Chackmore without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and lots of chips and rust spots, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Chackmore: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your MK18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chackmore
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we are called out for in Chackmore
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
