Trusted bath re-enamelling in Chalfont St Giles

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chalfont St Giles

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, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chalfont St Giles?

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
