Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chalk End
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Chalk End: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Landlord and trade work in Chalk End
If you manage property in Chalk End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chalk End?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
