How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chale Green
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Questions from Chale Green
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Landlord and trade work in Chale Green
If you manage property in Chale Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Chale Green
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for these signs:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
