- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
About our bath re-enamelling in Chalk Hill
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
What we’re called out for in Chalk Hill
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Chalk Hill questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you work in Chalk Hill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chalk Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Chalk Hill. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chalk Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Chalk Hill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
