Bath re-enamelling in Chale without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Normally one visit, start to finish

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Chale, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common questions in Chale
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?
All of Isle of Wight, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Chale, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chale?

The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- A roll-top that is seen better days

- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
