Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chalkwell
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- 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.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we’re called out for in Chalkwell
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site

Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: 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.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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 will not last.
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.
